In just a couple of days’ time, Liverpool will be able to map out their defence of the Premier League<\/a> title as the fixtures for the 2025\/26 season are released.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday morning, the Reds will have a rough idea of when and where they will be heading to the likes of the Emirates, Old Trafford, the Etihad and Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, though, Arne Slot is continuing to strengthen his side as Liverpool remain locked in talks with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Florian Wirtz, and Bournemouth over Milos Kerkez.<\/p>\n

Nunez set for Liverpool exit<\/p>\n

Darwin Nunez is reportedly open to a move to the Saudi Pro League this summer.<\/p>\n

The Uruguay international was linked with a move to the Middle East in January but decided to stay put at Anfield<\/a> and help the Reds win the Premier League.<\/p>\n

However, Fabrizio Romano claims that the forward is now “open” to a move to the Saudi Pro League this summer, with several clubs keen on the forward.<\/p>\n

Writing on X, he said: “Darwin Nunez remains guaranteed exit at Liverpool this summer with Saudi Pro League clubs keen since January.<\/p>\n

“Understand also Napoli have made contact in the recent days with Nunez on the shortlist and more talks to follow soon. Darwin, open to both Saudi-European options.<\/p>\n

Nunez started just eight Premier League games this season, and has two years remaining on his current deal at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Bayern make fresh Wirtz transfer claim<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl says his side wouldn’t have<\/a> been able to afford what Liverpool are offering Bayer Leverkusen to sign Florian Wirtz.<\/p>\n

The Reds have had three bids rejected for the 22-year-old in recent weeks, the latest of which was worth up to \u00a3113m.<\/p>\n

But despite the 2024\/25 Bundesliga champions standing firm on their valuation of Wirtz, Liverpool and Leverkusen remain in talks over a deal after the attacker made it clear that he wanted to join the Premier League<\/a> champions instead of Bayern Munich and Manchester City.<\/p>\n

But even if the player had set his sights on a move to the Allianz Arena, Eberl has cast doubt on whether the Germans would have been able to finance a bid on par with Liverpool’s offers.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sky Sport Germany about their unsuccessful pursuit of the Germany international, Eberl said: \u201cIf I\u2019m being honest, I don\u2019t know if we could have matched what Liverpool are apparently paying now.<\/p>\n

“Florian Wirtz is an outstanding player. We definitely could have imagined signing him. But when one door closes, another one opens.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The latest Liverpool news and rumours, including what is being said about Darwin Nunez and Florian WirtzDarwin Nunez…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":180311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,8904,393,2912,41370,4884,179,763,1596,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-180310","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-darwin-nunez","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-florian-wirtz","12":"tag-football-blog","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-liverpool","15":"tag-liverpool-fc","16":"tag-liverpool-fc-transfer-news","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114674467142145277","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
